hi kim,
not sure of the exact problem the initial poster had, my issue was that wp-hide-dashboard still allowed, on occasion, a logged in user (contributor) being directed to their wp dashboard. not always, once or twice so far, when testing a user on the front-end.
today, however, it worked!
and this all started with the latest wp 3.8 update. i’m not a programmer – work-in-progress – but were there any changes to wp 3.8 regarding the login function?
i’m still in development, no plugins whatsoever have changed, didn’t use test user (contributor) everyday, but the hiccup did start after upgrading to the latest 3.8 version.
as 4 plugins, i’ve got about 100 installed, mostly buddypress related, and like i mentioned earlier, nothing changed with them except for the latest wordpress version. and besides ‘simple login solutions’ and buddypress, none of them deal with logins or registrations.
thanks
